Come on chaps, get real. The owner is a multi millionaire, he is a grafter, he’s been a work horse. He has got where he has because of his hard work and his knowledge of business. He knows about investments. A lot of people in Canada rely on this chap for their income. To protect his other business interests he has simply pulled the plug on TWP because this is the easy option. Yet he will pick it up again in the 2021 season. If he is prepared to do that now what will stop him doing it again in the future.
Let’s go back when it all started, TWP wanted to join SL Europe. They made promises to the RFL and SL, Chairmen was informed what was going to happen, the CEO of TWP made promises galore, the promises are there in black and white.
No share of the money from Sky.
Payment of airfares to Canada for the opposing teams.
Hotels etc
He would develop their own players in time.
I am not saying he misled people, but most people bought into it. He has been on a signing spree, it seems between 2 and 4 players will be signing from the Rhinos or ex Rhinos for next season, I ask you to listen to the current squad, they are not even paying their current squad on time, how can you plan for next season when you cannot complete this season.
I say again KW wife does not have a good word to say,
If we are to forgive and forget, then TWP should not be allowed to keep signing players for next season until they give a financial undertaking.
Only at the start of this season did they ask for a higher salary cap, they wanted rules for them and different rules for others. Good luck to them, but what happens if it does not work, like all individuals they pull the plug in an area that leases affects them. When on a budget why would anyone sign players past their best on big salaries.
This was a disaster waiting to happen, it’s time the RFL and SL employ someone who can do a professional job and market this great sport and not go for global prominence with some hair brain scheme,
If you honestly thought this exercise was going to work you are delusional, Santa Clause really exists.
